everytime i apply the front brake there is a squeal,i was near my dealers yesterday & asked if they had an idea of what was causing this & could they look at it for me,they never had time to take the pad's out,they wiped the disc's with what i guess what brake cleaner & got an air line to the pad's,it was ok for about 20 mile's then it started again,i'm tempted to take the pad's out & have a look myself,is it a straight forward job to get the pad's out,i wish there was a HAYNE'S MANUAL for the GTR it would make life alot easier.
Its not uncommon for this to occur...mine does it from time to time....IMHO I think Haynes manuals are best used for packing a wonky table leg :mfr_lol: [/b]
Remove brake pads, light coating of grease on the *back* of the pads, back in and voila.
Have you had your pads changed recently? Mine squealed like a git after my dealer changed them and put no grease on the pad backs.

+1 on the grease. You might want to put it where the pins go as well
i.e.

sorry to be a pain the green text is not that CLEAR.thank's for the help.it's appreiciated.
my '10 gtr started brake squeel at 50 miles from new, asked dealer to sort on first service , which he did , only for brakes to start squeeling some 100 miles later. I took out pads, easy peasy and put some copper grease on the back of the pads and its never squeeked since ( 4k miles now )
cheer's viper,i have a tub of copper grease in my garage,i'll give it a go.
without stating the obvious, make sure your hands are clean and don't get any on the pad surface...
I'm not being a smart arse but its important to be cautious :yes:
